I came across this blog on tumblr (link here) who has words from all over the world. These words are strange and foreign to me, but lovely. So I'm going to share some of these words and their beautiful meaning here.
sillage
[ SEE-yazh ] (French)
(n.) the scent that lingers in the air, the trail left in water, the impression made in space after something or someone has been and gone; the trace of someone's perfume
alexithymia
[ ah-LEKS-ih-THEE-mee-ah ]
(n.) the inability to express your feelings
clinomania
[ klin-oh-MAYN-ee-ah ]
(n.) excessive desire to stay in bed
finifugal
[ fi-ni-FU-gal ]
(adj.) hating endings; of someone who tries to avoid or prolong the final moments of a story, relationship, or some other journey
That's really neat! I can defintely relate to clinomania and finifugal. :)
